How to Optimize Your Summer (and Relax) May 16, 2014

Show notes

For many classical educators, whether in the home or in a more traditional school, summer can be a strange season - a sort of in-between period. Almost like a warm, green, beach-infused purgatory. On the one hand summertime means a break in all the busy-ness of the school year, on the other hand it can be terrifying because it means a break in all the momentum you spent the year building. In this podcast Andrew Kern, Chuck Hicks, Brian Phillips, and David Kern discuss how to optimize the summer time. Hint: they talk a lot about letting the anxiety go.
